Hole 3
Hole Name
From The Tee Spinney meaning small wood; thicket. This short par 4 is a great test. Two accurate shots are needed to leave yourself with a realistic birdie chance. Anything from a 4 iron to a three wood takes you up level with the bunker and leaves you with a precise wedge to the hole.

Hole 18
Hole Name
From The Tee
From The Fairway A good finishing hole. The fairway runs off to the right. After two good hits you will have hopefully missed the pot bunker to the right and landed on the new USGA specification green, built recently in 2003 and opened in June 2004.
